wanting everyone to know
just how great we really are
or denying to ourselves
and to everybody else
that we have the skills and smarts
that could win 10,000 hearts
treating others as beneath
us or even inhuman
being irresponsible
for myself or for the world
worse is not caring at all
being dead before we fall
finally into our graves
death is god’s last enemy

It shows up sometimes in the most unexpected places… Saw it in the faces of some people sitting directly across from me … still bugs me and it was in no way directed at me.

Hmm things we are supposed to hate? I’ll have to think about these, I don’t have a lot of hate in me so I have to use it carefully.

aladywrites, Love your comment here. Hate is not Steve’s thing. Nor is it mine. But there are some things, aren’t there, that call for hate or substitute disdain? What do you think?
